Garment of the moment

 

The weather in The Netherlands hasn’t yet allowed me to wear my full summer wardrobe, it still can be pretty cold. One of my ultimate ‘compromise garments’ is this H&M top. It’s made out of a synthetic fabric which makes it light but not too cold. I’ve bought this top about two years ago and it still looks great and has no signs of wearing. This is one of the few items I didn’t buy during the sale, as I did with all my other garments that period. I changed my philosophy only recently so back then I just bought the things I didn’t hate and were cheap. But not this top, and it paid off because I have worn it a lot and I still do.

A while ago, I told you about my Alexander Wang Tee, which I love and wear a lot! But off course, I have more garments in my closet that I adore. One of those pieces is my nude H&M Blouse. I bought it in January but I didn’t really wear because it had elastic in the waist that made it look a bit cheap-ish and not really flattering. So because I was a bit annoyed by the elastic, I simply didn’t wear it (I know, that’s bad). Just a couple of weeks ago I had an amazing idea: why not remove the elastic?! Since I removed it after my epiphany I just love it! I have worn it so much since then. Everybody thinks it’s made out of silk, but really it’s just viscose. It really does look (and) feel like silk, though. I’ve added some pictures of it so that you can see the difference from the removal of the elastic, and just how it looks. If you ever have the chance of buying that blouse, just do it! The feel and fit are great (much better than a lot of my other H&M garments) you will not regret that purchase.
